❛ do you remember when we first met? ❜

malachi gave him a warm smile as the memory came pouring into his mind like the smoke that filled the space between them. "it was a comeback of mine...tidal was having a debut stage at the same time i think? or a first comeback...and i remember walking past you and we just looked at each other until we started bowing and saying hello. i didn't know whether to flirt with you or be nice because you're entire vibe just caught me off guard. i remember thinking about you a lot, wanting to talk and stuff. sounds cheesy but you were so cool."

[solradguy]

Mr. Rad Guy, I've wanted to get your opinion on something for a while now, and finally snagged what I was looking for on twitter. I normally don't pay any of those transphobic Bridget discourse peddlers any mind, but they bring up her appearence in the canon pachinko game Vastege as supposed "proof" that Strive's story direction for her is a contradictory retcon. This game's plot takes place just three months before Xrd's, and they claim that through her voicelines she is still insisting sternly that she's a man and not to call her cute, but also that she STILL hasn't broken her village's superstition at this point in time. This is the only image they ever have as so-called evidence, so I wanted to see if you know if these lines are legitimately in the game, scrapped content, or made up altogether. I don't trust these lunatics as far as I can throw them when it comes to telling the whole truth 🤨

This screenshot is from same manuscript of dialog that is in the lore server archives and in the GG VXT archive pack that I compiled and uploaded to Archive.org. As far as I know, these lines were all used in the game and no unused lines have been (or even could be) datamined. Two of the lines here are highlighted so I'm assuming they're the ones these dorks are using to try to prove their point. I've translated them.

First line:

I want to break the village's rule/law*, and return to the village as a young man.

*In the official localizations I think they might translate this as "tradition" or "superstition" instead of rule or law.

"Young man" in that line is 男の子 (otokonoko). Do not let anyone convince you Bridget is using the other otokonoko there (男の娘；"young man with a feminine aesthetic"). They like to do that a lot, argue that it's the one that uses 娘.

Second line:

Cute is uncalled for... I'm a man.

In conclusion: Yes. Bridget is using almost 1:1 recycled dialog in Vastedge that she used in XX and the spinoffs. The Twitter grifters' Google Translating was correct this time.

Vastedge's plot may take place only 3 months before Xrd, but Vastedge itself came out in 2013—8 entire years before Strive released in 2021. A lot can change in 3 months in real life, but after almost a decade most people are entirely different altogether (wrt Daisuke and his plot decisions). Also it's a friggin pachislot machine lmfao Like, are people really expecting something as earth shattering as a character as irrelevant to the general plot like Bridget suddenly stopping all of the action to explore her identity on a slot machine? I have no patience for these people anymore. They're just stupid and arguing because they have no hobbies.

There's also the fact that Daisuke originally planned for Bridget to be a cis girl until the very last minute. So if anything her coming out in Strive was just returning to the starting concept. He mentions this in the interview in the back of Artworks of Guilty Gear X 2000-2004. Translation by fairymisao.

(27)---The character Bridget, introduced in Guilty Gear XX, looks like a girl but is actually a boy, right? What was your intention in deciding on creating this kind of character? Ishiwatari: The creation of Bridget as a boy happened at the very last second; during development I was drawing him as purely a girl. It's just that when there is a need to give a worldly backbone (to the game), in order for me to try to not forget each character, and in order to revive the character, I give them my very heart. As a result, the creation of Bridget as actually a boy instead of a girl was because I thought he could become my alter ego. [...]

It's also important to note that Vastedge was the first thing ASW made for Guilty Gear after getting the full rights to the IP back from Sega after the Sega-Sammy merger in 2011 (which they had started to lose a bit before Overture's release in 2004). They were absolutely more focused on making something that would generate income and looked flashy than they were a compelling cinematic experience.

Prongsfoot and hmm lilylene (marls x lily)

((ask game: send me a ship and i'll give my brutally honest opinion about them))

prongsfoot!!! i actually love them ngl... i started out a prongsfoot hater/misunderstander, because i was like but aren't they just besties, but the more i thought about it the more i was interested in them just being so enmeshed with one another that romantic or platonic it doesn't really matter, as long as they are together for life <333

i don't often actively seek out romantic prongsfoot fic, but it does make me a bit unhinged when i do see it (unhinged just like them lol)

lilylene is one that i haven't given much thought too, like i really like marylily and marylene, and even tho i've seen lilylene around i suppose i never really considered it... sitting here typing this, i can see them getting pretty intense pretty fast about each other and going through a whirlwind of a relationship before breaking up after a few months (continuing to have hate sex tho ofc), but this is just thoughts after like 5 minutes lol

i am very open to hearing lilylene propaganda tho if i've misunderstood the appeal xx

[blehblarghblah]

I have your notifications on and i just woke up at 12:50 am where is it o_0 im gonna go back to sleeping now

I was hoping no one noticed me privating it, ( ╥_╥)

It was just the scheduled post, sorry! I have every chap up to 20 on the scheduled date they're supposed to release for Tumblr, but I usually move it out of the queue when I know the chap is gonna be delayed! I also have these scheduled posts because they help me keep track of the dates but also the chap summaries.

I just forgot this week's chap by mistake! So not yet! Within the next couple nights is its timeline to expect it!

Enjoy your sleep! (or I hope you enjoyed it if you've already passed out, lol!) And sorry for getting your hopes up, ( >ヮ<)

Until next ask,

- Bleh

What kind of things are they into?

see previous ask :) i won't leave you with nothing, though

Tabby has gotten a few new piercings, and Limbo likes them more than he initially thought. Especially when she's wearing a thinner top.

☕️

☕️- what’s my muse’s morning ritual, if any? If they don’t have anything specific then how do they prep for the day?

She's up with the sunrise, whenever she can be, no matter where she's traveled in the world. She was raised wholly in the dark, deep in the mountains of Coerthas, where seeing sunlight (especially for someone of her position) was heavily regulated and steeped in ritual. Now that that life is behind her, she will watch as many sunrises as possible to make up for all those she missed growing up.

She's not ride or die on coffee vs tea, but she will have something to drink first thing, no matter what it is. Usually she'll just accept whatever she's served, since as a traveler, she's most often a guest; despite the aura she gives off, she isn't a picky person. If she's home in Ishgard, she'll have black coffee, or a warm spiced birch and cinnamon tea -- both of those flavours remind her of home.

If she can manage it, she'll take herself outdoors early in the morning whenever possible, even if just for a moment. Fresh air calms her down, and settles her enough to start her day.

"in retrostpect i did have an idea that it would fucking break if i tried to change the strings myself. but i'm running off of a joint and two red bulls and for some reason i had the idea that i was fucking fix it felix. regardless the fret is fucked up and i need to take to a shop. that means strap up your boots and get the fuck to the lobby because i'm not going into the city with my guitar by myself."

@xx--ofmanythoughts--xx sent a confession

❝ this is never gonna stop. it’s just gonna be more blood and awfulness. ❞  (Alys to  Aemond)

-------

He understood why she was concerned but he didn’t agree that this confrontation was going to continue on much longer. One way or another, someone was going to win and someone was going to lose, and Aemond fully intended that he would be on the winning side. With Vhagar at his side, he felt assured of his position. With all the years of training that he had undertaken, perfecting his technique, he was assured that he would win the coming confrontation. 

“Everything that begins has an ending Alys, one way or another.” He replied, not looking up from the map he was consulting. “You worry too much.”  ​

Requested By: Anonymous, from my 1k milestone event

Warnings: N/A

Putting your blanket in the dryer to get it nice and warm for movie night.

Holding onto the strap of your bag as you walk through crowded areas to make sure he doesn't lose you. Or keeping his finger hooked in your pocket as you're walking together.

Refilling your drink without having to ask.

Always giving you the best piece/bite of food.

Kisses to the top of your head as he walks past.

Keeping spare bathroom amenities at his place for you.

Keeping your favorite snacks at his place in your own spot in the kitchen cupboard.

Tying your shoes, or fixing a piece of your clothing.

Sending you good morning and good night texts, often with a photo.

Bringing you back presents and food from tour or events.

Cleaning out your own drawer and space in his closet to keep some of your clothes at his place.

Guiding you as you walk down the sidewalk, to avoid pot holes or uneven steps.

Reminding you to take your meds, eat food and/or drink water throughout the day.

Bringing you food if you haven't eaten, or got busy.

Surprise dates to cheer you up.

Couple clothes and gifts. Matching jacket/sweater, couple bracelets and/or rings, matching plushies or toys. (He always makes sure to take at least one with him on tour)

Carrying your bag for you wherever you go.

Random hugs and cuddles (cause how could he resist).

Staring, just staring. He gets lost looking at you, it doesn't matter what you are doing, he just likes admiring you.

He loves when you catch him staring at you, it makes you feel shy and he finds it adorable.

Joining you, or at the least sitting beside the tub when you are taking a bath just talking to you, sometimes putting shampoo in your hair for you.

Sending you photos of random things, memes, or lyrics he comes across that remind him of you.

xx

What would you call your book if you would wrote one?

Working title for one of my mystery/scifi story ideas is 'Don't Pray Upon A Dying Star', but as the story idea has long since moved away from what was the main premise when I came up with that title, I'll probably call it something else if/when it ever gets published!

Thanks for the ask :)
